The north wind howled past, then suddenly became gentle the moment it emerged in the height of summer.

She smiled happily, ran over, hugged Jiao Su's arm, and rubbed her face against it.

A familiar, cool fragrance wafted over, and Sheng Xia squinted her eyes, taking a deep, intoxicating breath. Her voice was sweet and soft as she spoke.

"Is Su Su tired? You sent so many orcs this time."

He's never sent so many orcs at once before. I wonder if he overexerted himself or something?

Thinking of this, she raised her head somewhat nervously.

Meeting a pair of calm, unwavering golden eyes, Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile, and then she heard Jiao Su's pleasant voice say...

"I'm not tired, I'm fine." As soon as she finished speaking, Jiao Su kissed her, the sudden kiss was very forceful.

They had kissed many times, but this time, Sheng Xia felt an unusually strong sense of pressure, giving her the illusion that she was about to be torn apart and devoured.

They finally let go after a long time.

Jiao Su felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but show a hint of joy. Her golden eyes shone even brighter, stunning Sheng Xia for a moment.

It's so beautiful, and it gets even more beautiful with age.

He possesses a mature, handsome, and masculine charm that is so captivating that even beasts cannot look directly at him.

Sheng Xia opened her mouth wide and stared intently at Jiao Su, becoming more and more captivated by her gaze.

Noticing her adoring gaze, Jiao Su raised her eyebrows slightly and curled them up, her mood becoming even more cheerful.

Seeing Sheng Xia's stunning appearance, Xing Mu's blue eyes lit up with a smile. He glanced thoughtfully at Jiao Su, secretly planning to learn from her.

With a "Haa!", the sound of the little brats playing around came from behind.

Shengxia awkwardly looked away, meeting Qingmu's curious gaze. She gave him a shy, reproachful look, while Qingmu looked completely bewildered.

Fox Snow, standing next to him, was practically laughing hysterically. Her beautiful fox eyes sparkled as she looked at Aoki with a delighted expression.

Aoki:?

He had just noticed his partner blushing as they looked at him, and before he could even feel happy, he was glared at. His partner's thoughts are so fickle...

Fortunately, he kept his doubts to himself; if he voiced them, he would have received a real glare.

Shengxia blinked, belatedly noticing that her companions had varying degrees of smiles on their faces, looking like onlookers watching the drama unfold.

Normally, she wouldn't feel anything when several partners surrounded her, but now she actually felt a bit crowded.

"Huh? The collar isn't turned up." Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, pretending to straighten her clothes.

Her entire face was almost buried inside her collar. After adjusting her collar and buttons, she continued adjusting the cloak ties...

Sure enough, people are busiest when they're feeling awkward.

In the height of summer, she lightly bit her lower lip, her eyelashes trembling, wishing she could straighten all her clothes.

"Sister Xiaxia~ Do you need any help?" A sly glint flashed in Hu Xue's eyes. She curled her lips, bent down, and leaned close to Xiaxia's face, teasing her partner who was blushing.

"I'm all better!" Sheng Xia quickly looked up, trying to cover up her feelings.

She was thinking, "I hope an orc comes and saves her."

The next second, Snake's laughter came from behind: "Xiaxia, are you ready? If you are, let's go."

Shengxia covered her burning cheeks, raised her bright almond-shaped eyes and looked around at all her companions before turning her gaze to the three little ones on the ground.

The three fluffy little balls nodded with bright, sparkling eyes. "Mommy, we're ready."

"Okay." Sheng Xia turned around, looked at She Han, and chuckled, "Yes, I'm ready, let's go~"

"Alright, let's go!"

"Xiaxia, it's time to ride the lion! Come on, let's ride the lion!" Aoki ran over with a bright smile, transformed into his beast form in a flash, and frantically shook his fluffy golden tail.

Upon hearing his words, Sheng Xia paused, her face flushed, and she awkwardly looked away.

Can't this big lion speak properly?

"I won't sit!" Sheng Xia huffed sweetly.

"Come on, come on, it's so soft." The golden lion rubbed against the little female's legs affectionately, like a kitten begging for attention.

Summer, exasperated by his persistence, chuckled and patted him, "Stand still." Seeing the lion immediately freeze, she smiled and turned to look at Xingmu, who was closest to her.

She opened her arms and said sweetly, "Little brother Xingmu, hug me."

"good."

The large group marched out in a grand procession.

As before, the Shengxia family walked at the very back.

She sat on the back of the golden lion with a sweet smile, looking up at the distance with curiosity.

The snow-white mountain peaks stretched endlessly, shimmering with white light.

"I wonder what the next tribe will be like," Shengxia thought to herself, feeling rather bored.

The morning air was still a bit chilly, and the gentle sunlight enveloped everyone, casting short shadows of the orcs.

For several nights in a row, they spent their nights in the cave.

On the fifth day at noon, we arrived at our destination.

At the very front of the group, the giant leopard cat transformed into human form in a flash, its eyes warily fixed on the front, its hand behind its back making a "standby" gesture.

The main force stopped.

In the drowsy summer, she lifted her head from the sheep's back, her eyes filled with the vast sky. She blinked and looked down at the ground.

Everyone remained in their beast forms, while the patrolling flying orcs flew low, much lower than the little lambs, unaware of what had happened.

Summer patted the soft wool beneath her and asked softly, "Little lamb, what's wrong?"

Why did you stop before lunchtime? Did you encounter a wild animal?

She must have slept for a short while; judging from the position of the sun in the sky, it wasn't even at its zenith yet.

It's either in the morning or the afternoon.

It's unlikely in the afternoon...

They had only been gone a short while. There must be something wrong with stopping at this point. Shengxia lowered her almond-shaped eyes slightly, hugged the sheep's neck tightly, and looked down curiously.
